Summary: I was a little disappointed with the outside appearance and the parking situation. It would have been fine for me considering the price point, but my traveling companion was not willing to stay there. The room looked and smelled clean. The air conditioning was lacking, but I feel like it was on the verge of starting to cool the room off when we left. The room was not that bad. I had to find a more expensive room to satisfy my partner. This was the first time I was able to get her away from home since covid, and I wanted her to be happy. If I had been alone, I would have stayed there. The area would have been fairly convenient to stay in.
